I'm running the latest version of Windows 10 (Anniversary Update - Build 14393.693) clean installed on a Yoga 2 Pro (20266 / 80AY) BIOS 76CN43WW. The "Lenovo Yoga Mode Control" version 2.0.0.9 (ymc.exe) has consistently crashed every day for the last few months. Crash reports are logged. Are there any plans to fix this issue any time soon? Best Regards,

I'm running the latest insider version of Windows 10 (soon to be the Anniversary Release) on a Yoga 900. The "Lenovo Yoga Mode Control" ((ymc.exe) has consistently crashed every day for the last few months. Crash reports are logged. Are there any plans to fix this issue any time soon?

A:Lenovo Yoga Mode Control crashes daily on Windows ...

What version of YMC are you using?

A new version (1.0.0.9) was posted just a few days ago: Lenovo Yoga Mode Control for Windows 10 (64-bit). Perhaps it addresses the issue with the Anniversary Release.

Since you have to hunt around different Lenovo sites (and other sites) to find out about these softwares, I decided to make a post to get feedback from actual Yoga owners on how these programs interact, what they do, which ones are prerequisite, and which ones are unnecessary. Please don't take this as a blanket answer. This is just what I have found. It might be right - it might be wrong. I'm looking for others to post their experiences as well. Lenovo System Interface Foundation Driver - Necessary prerequisite (missing driver in device manager without it). It allows the Lenovo Utility and Lenovo Companion to work. Lenovo Yoga Mode Control - Necessary if you want to use your yoga to seemlessly change between all the different modes (laptop, tablet, tent, stand). This software is responsible for autorotating and putting Windows into tablet mode. Lenovo Utility - Recommended(?) This one I'm not too sure on. I remember that I was missing some function that I wanted but I can't remember what it was now. Maybe battery cycle count and health? Lenovo Companion - I don't have this one installed and don't think it's necessary but would like someone else to shed some light here.

This is now my second Lenovo Yoga 720 13" that I recived from Best Buy. I returned the first one because I noticed the screen did not meet the rubber bezel at the top, exposing the inside of the monitor. This caused me to worry about dust and hair getting behind the screen and possibly destroying it. The second one has the same problem as well as many others. The power button on the first one clicked when I pressed it, however with this one there is no click and I must hold the laptop and press the power button all with more strength than a person should have to just to get it to turn the laptop on. Also the trackpad comes above the right side of the laptop where the left side rests below. There is also a strange rattling coming from the plastic peices at the bottom of the screen. Many of the keys on the keyboard stick at random points when I'm typing causing the keys to not type. Also many of the lights behind the keys are either burned out or extremely dim, now I find it hard to believe that they burned out from my using the laptop since it is fairly new. Lastly there is sharp metal sticking out on the right side of the laptop that often scratches me when I put it into tablet mode. I can still use the laptop, but I feel like I have to be overly careful with it because of all these issues. It is as if this laptop was never checked for defects before it was sent to Best Buy.

Today the Lenovo Vantage app suddenly started crashing every time I try to search for updates. Yoga 920. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but it made no difference. Still crashing while searching for updates. Any suggestions?

Hi. I was one of the persons having the flickering keyboard issue.No I ran the Lenovo System Update app and installed everything that was recommended to me and now the whole thing crashes pretty much every 5 minutes. Even while idleing. Now I am back to my trusty MacBook. The old BIOS drivers are not on their site, how do I roll back???? Best regards!Henrik

I am judt about fed up. This laptop was amazing for the first eight months or so, but now the rotation is off the rails. It will switch to tablet and tent mode without being moved. Then it refuses to switch back to laptop mode. I am a writer. I need my keyboard. This is honestly unacceptable. I've tried everything - updating drivers, bios, etc. I wrote to Best Buy (where I purchased it) but they refused to help. Plus, my warranty is up. Any idea?

Hi everyone, I've recently purchased the Lenovo Yoga 710 14 inch and wanted to change the touchpad settings to disable some gestures that I find annoying. The mouse settings and additional settings work fine, but when I click on settings, the Synaptic Control Panel window opens for a split second and then immediately closes again, making it impossible to change the gesture settings. I've updated the touchpad driver multiple times without luck. Anyone know how to solve this issue?

Hello All, I have an issue with my YOGA 700 laptop when logged in multiple accounts simultaneously. Whenever an account is left logged on and the user is switched as opposed to logging off, the cpu usage ramps up very high with several RUNDLL32 processes being the culprit. I have checked the RUNDLL32 processes with Process Explorer and the command line are as follows:C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe C:\ProgramData\LenovoTransition\Server\x64\EnableAutoRotation.dll,RunCustomMonitor The directory is as follows: C:\ProgramData\LenovoTransition\Server\x64\ The only solution I have found is restarting the laptop. The problems comes back when again more than one user is logged in. Also, the rundll32 processes only run high cpu on one account at a time and there doesn't seem to be a preference for a specific account, all of them are plagued one at a time with the problem. Disabling the Yoga Mode Control service is a fix but that breaks the mode control which is essential in this laptop. I have tried installing all the available software on the Software page foor the YOGA 700. The rundll32 processes drain the battery very fast and I can't always log off other users when they have apps open! I have posted a screenshot of process explorer showing 2 rundll32.exe processes using 25% cpu usage each. However, sometimes up to 4 rundll32.exe processes open up and they use combined 100% cpu usage, which makes the laptop run very hot and slow. In t... Read more

I've been having trouble with the fingerprint sensor on my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga laptop (type 20FR) for the last week. It is now completely unresponsive after working just fine for months. In device manager it says "This device cannot start (Code 10)." I've tried disabling/enabling the device form device manager, uninstalling/re-installing the drivers, and wiping stored fingerprints from the BIOS settings. After wiping the fingerprints from BIOS settings and re-programming the fingerprint sensor from the Windows Hello settings menu, it worked for a day, but then the issue with the finger print sensor crashing returned. What do I do?

Hi. I'd like to ask, is it possible to use keyboard in tablet mode? I'd like to use Yoga with an exterior monitor, but I've read that the keyboard turns automatically off in tablet mode. Thanks in advance,Kuksss

A:Lenovo Yoga 700 using keybord in tablet mode

Hi Kuksss,

Welcome to the Forums.

I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

The touch keyboard doesn?t appear automatically, if you?re using a desktop app. Instead, you need to select keyboard in the taskbar.

Please refer to the Microsoft article link below, for further assistance and support.

How to use the Surface touch keyboard:https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-ca/support/touch-mouse-and-search/how-to-use-the-on-screen-keyb...

While you are in tablet mode, I suggest you to press Windows key + R key, then type OSK and press enter to launch the keyboard.

I hope the above information helps.

Regards, Shashi

Hi, in tablet mode on the Yoga 900, the keyboard is split and I'm trying to figure out how set it so it isn't split. There is a button in the bottom right corner of the right side of the keyboard that looks like a keypad, but nothing happens when I touch it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello EveryonePlease help me with this beacause it is really disturbing.I used to have a "night mode" which when you switch on it was blocking blue lights and screen would have yellow light instead which helps you to fal asleep at night, in other words does not keep you awake.This mode was actvated through Lenovo settings. But after some update (!) when I click on Lenovo settings it says " Lenovo settings is now actually Lenovo companion" and it launches Lenovo Companion. And of course there, I cannot see the night mode and there is no way for me to enable the mode.Please help me, that was a really useful function that I used every single night... Thank you in advance

I have problem with my laptop after changing the screen of my yoga 500 later. it is changing to tablet mode automatically without rotating screen I mean when I am using laptop in laptop mode it changing to tablet mode without rotating if anyone has a solution mean please explain me to solve it.

Dear All, I have a lenovo yoga 500- 14IBD, my problem is the flight mode key is not working as well as the osd for touchpad on/off. I have windos 10 64bit, I was advised to install energy management software or flight mode driver (couldn't find both).I reinstalled all of the intel components and now it works only if I start my computer with the ac cord (clearly it is a faulty power management or conflicting services) could anyone please advise !! Thanks a lot in advance. Mostafa

Hi guys, Got my yoga last month and it's been okay, bit slow to load from sleep but it's done the job. Only thing is its now in a permanent sleep mode. I've tried re-charging it from zero battery, hard reset, putting the lid up and down, combining that with hard reset too. what to do? Do I have to send it somewhere? Obviously I don't want to open the thing up, I'd rather leave that to a professional. cheers.

Hello! Thanks for yours feedbacks! I am using Lenovo Yoga 2 11. The laptop works normally when in Laptop mode. But when i turn it to tent mode or tablet mode, it slowdown, i cant open web page or watch a streaming video. I have made all the updates drivers and windows but nothing change.

Hey. I bought my Yoga 520-14IKB (Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256gb NVMe SSD, GeForce 940MX) 2 month ago, had no problems, till last week. Now sometimes i experience such a strange behaviour. Mainly i work on my laptop in normal mode, and sometimes, during such work, it can false trigger a tablet mode for a few (2-3) seconds (notification appers), which causes the keyboard to switch off for this time, despite the fact, that it still stands as a normal laptop, not even close to position, which triggers the yoga mode. How can i fix this? System is Windows 10 April 2018 Update, have all the latest drivers and latest version of BIOS.

I just bought the yoga book mostly for games and YouTube. One of the main games I got it for was Pokemon go. When I got it, the game ran fine. After updating it to Android 7.1.1 the game will not load. It crashes and says the game has stopped working. From what I'm reading online it has to deal with the security patch from August 2017. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this without a factory reset?

I have a Lenovo Yoga 710 14 " Signature Edition 2-in-1 PC- bought it two days ago. W10. I have problems with the touchscreen when using it as a tablet. The touchscreen is working perfectly when it's in PC mode. Once I fold it and putting it flat (down at the table etc.)- the screen is no longer responding. It's like the touchscreen function is shuting off somehow. Anyone knows how to solve this?? Thanks

I have a few-months old Yoga 2 11 that was working perfectly, until a few weeks ago when I went to use it in tablet mode the display screen went all out of whack. It turns the screen, but only half of it - the top half of the screen is turned and the menu bar shows up in the middle of the screen, and the bottom half looks like the screen in regular computer mode. I've tried restarting, tried turning tablet mode off, but every time I flex it back to use as a tablet this happens, virtually making that feature unuseable. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution for it?

Hello!I've bought used Lenovo Yoga 2 13 few days ago. It had installed Windows 10 Home on it but since I didn't wanted to have any files from previous owner I've wiped entire drive and reinstalled it. Windows have taken care of all the drivers so I haven't any problems here, but I've never get to work any tablet capabilities of this laptop. To be accurate the keyboard locks out when laptop is in full tablet mode but you'll bend it just few degrees and you have turned on keyboard and touchpad again. Rotation doesn't work at all so I can forget about any modes between laptop mode and tablet mode. I've installed all the drivers, I've installed Yoga Mode Control but... it simply doesn't work at all. I have all the files, I have a YMC service that is "officially" working in the background but it doesn't do anything and turning it on and off makes no difference. I even installed Lenovo Vantage but that didn't help too. So after a week I've decided to downgrade this machine to Windows 8.1 since this laptop was made specifically for this system and there was also that Lenovo Transition software. And I did it. Now I have Windows 8.1. I've downloaded all the drivers and also the Lenovo Transition. But guess what... it doesn't work at all too. I've checked old version, then 2.0 version, then YMC again and all of them does not work at all. YMC actually "works" the same way as Windows 10 version. I have no idea what that could be. I've turned on auto-rotate, rotation lock button is in Aut... Read more

Hi, I've been experiencing an issue since the re-installation of Windows 10 on my lenovo yoga 510-14ISK. When I flip the computer to a "tablet" position, I face two problems :1) the tablet mode in windows 10 won't want to activate itself automatically2) the manual keyboard and the trackpad aren't disabled which is very very annoying I did not have those problems on my previous installation of Windows 10 (same version).I've tried to update my pilotes, as well as restarting my computer sevral times but the problem is still here... Anyone has a guess ? Have a great day.

I bought my laptop in 2015 and unwarranted, I'd like some help to get full functionality back into my laptop. While the subject states my problem, I do have some ways of getting use out of the computer:It can turn on if the battery is fully drained and after the computer is plugged in; it takes 8 days to drain. [Pressing and holding the power button only results in the PC flashing its backlit keyboard.] The battery can recharge and the PC can run on battery just as long the PC does not shut down, go to sleep, or the lid closes.Battery removal with the PC plugged in: the PC can always turn on, but when closing the lid or shutting it off, the power cord has to be unplugged and plugged back in.Additional computer information:-Windows 8.1 with updates-Installed BIOS update and Windows hotfix update from Lenovo.com

I recently did a Windows 10 update to my Lenovo Yoge Ideapad 11 S on July 16th and now my touch screen does not work. When I check the drivers for my monitor and touch screen I noticed the driver was missing. I cannot get Lenovo or Microsoft to fix this. What else can I do to get that driver back ?

Hello Dws520Thanks for using the Lenovo forums.Was this the creators update?If so, have a look on the following post, this should show if your device has been tested with the update yet:https://support.lenovo.com/gb/en/solutions/ht503655

From what I can see, your unit does not seems to have made the list, which leads me to believe that this will be the cause of the issue, I would recommend that you revert back to the previous version of Windows, and observe if the fault still occurs or not.

Hope this helps, let us know how you get on.==================================================================================Did someone help you today? Thank them with a Kudo! If you find a post helpful and it answers your question, please mark it as an "Accepted Solution"!

Disclaimer: I received the Yoga 920 as a review loaner unit from Lenovo. All opinions are my own, nobody is paying for my review, and no one is reviewing this content before it's posted.

Left: Yoga 920 in Bronze. Right: Yoga 910 in Silver

On the surface, both the Yoga 910 and Yoga 920 look nearly identical, but in my testing, I prefer one over the other. Let's dig deeper to see the differences between the two!To get this out of the way, both machines have 1TB PCIe storage, 16GB memory, and the Yoga 910 has the 7th gen i7-7550U processor, and the Yoga 920 has the 8th gen i7-8550U processor.

Hardware & DesignBoth the Yoga 910 and Yoga 920 are built out of aluminum, which gives them a high quality feel to them. Both laptops have the keyboard integrated into the chassis, which means less keyboard flex. One thing that I find better in the Yoga 920 is the fact that it's all smooth edges around. The Yoga 910 has pretty sharp edges which means you could scratch your surface or yourself. The sharp edges of the Yoga 910 was a common complaint, and I'm glad they rectified it.

The Yoga 920 also has a little slit on the display lid that makes it much easier to open the lap... Read more

After a clean install of Win 10 Home, I tried to reinstall the Yoga Mode Control driver from here: http://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/products/Laptops-and-netbooks/Yoga-Series/yoga-900-13isk2/80UE/005KC... The install ends without error, but does not confirm success either. The app does not appear to install. This same thing happens with Lenovo Utility.

HiWhen a second user is logged on to my yoga 900 the cpu goes from 2-3% to about 30% and stays there. The fan spins up and makes more noise than acceptable.After disabling the service yoga mode control it does not happen anymore but it's a pity to have to do without it. I have everything updated (windows 10 and bios) including the latest version of yoga mode control I can find: version 1.0.0.9 Is there a fix to this?

Hi. I have a problem with my yoga 710 in tablet mode. The on screen keyboard just pops up and goes away after a secound. Some say its a problem with Chrome. But the problems also occurs when i try to log in to windows in tablet mode. The keyboard pops up, and goes away so i cant type my passcode. If i flip the pc out of tablet mode and opens the onscreen keybord by pushing on it on the taskbar it stays open. Someone know how to fix this?

I've had this laptop only for 3 days and for the past 2 it has stopped asking me if I want to switch to tablet mode when I pick the laptop up and begin to fold it back a bit... Another and more important issue is that the physical keyboard and touchpad DON'T disable when I use the laptop in either stand, tent or tablet modes. Please help me resolve these problems!

I've been looking around and found a few people who are very displeased with the logo startup/boot logo (example1, example2), but no way to change it as of yet. Is it possible without too much hassle? I know it's not a big deal but the logo is simply terrible in so many ways. If nothing, then at least I'm raising awareness and maybe Lenovo will choose a better graphic designer for our collective startup screens. I mean, seriously? Is that the best you could come up with?

A:Yoga 720 Lenovo boot logo. Is there a way to change it? (should be the same for every new Yoga).

I do not know of any way to easily change it without hackging the BIOS, nor would I waste time trying to do so since it is just the boot logo, and I am just happy to have it boot up.

I have some problems with the Lenovo software. Lenovo Account Portal does not launch Lenovo Companion and Lenovo Settings. Also, Lenovo Solution Center is missing from the Start Menu. The second problem is that some tiles are blank in Start Menu. Seemingly it's the apps that aren't Metro. I'm not sure when the problem started, but I think it was like that since I got the PC. If I right click the apps, the only option will be "Pin to Start", and with some apps: Share and Rate. Here's a picture of the problem:I did already try:Restarting the PC.Doing scannow, DISM, and scannow again.Fixing Registry errors with CCleaner.Updating BIOS and drivers. What can I do to fix the problem?

New Yoga 700-141SK: Ran the Lenovo Support Center Hardware Scan and the Video Card Mathematical Operations Test has failed rendering the Report: WVC007002-UL7BPL. Is there a tried and proven solution out there? I have had a look at the solutions on the forum and am not satisfied that the solutions offered prove that the problem has been resolved. It is reasonable to expect Lenovo to make available a solution as a matter of course instead of end-users of "afflicted" Lenovo devices having to request/search for a solution(s).

My son accidentally got his leg caught in the cord of his laptop when he got up and the laptop fell approximately 2 feet to the tile floor. It boots up but stays on the Lenovo splash screen. If I go into the BIOS and select System Recovery it goes through the "Loading files..." process, the Lenovo splash screen appears with the dots going in a circle but, then after about 2 minutes of that the screen just goes black. If I tilt the screen forward or back I can tell it is still backlit just with nothing to display. Anything we can try?
